Are these tight muscles causing your headaches? - (Max U LLC Clarksville Tennessee) Corrective Exercise Specialist


The muscles of the neck, and Scapulae can have deleterious effects on posture and function of the body when there is an imbalance. The effects may be so profound that they even cause headache and pain. Bad Stress (Distress) often manifests physically throughout tightening and shortening of the muscles of the neck extensor, trapezius, and occipital muscles. Chronic tightening can lead to an imbalance known as shortening. The shortening of muscles leads to the lengthening of antagonist muscles. That is where imbalances occur. Additionally, in today's society, sedentary lifestyle, work habits and the use of cell phones leads to chronic shoulder slouch and slumping and forward leaning head. All of these can lead to headache and discomfort.

  Improve Core Strength with These 10 Plank Progressions Andy Curtiss , NREMT; BEXSc; NASM - CPT, CES, PES; ACE - CMES Core strength is an essential characteristic for good posture, proper movement mechanics and performance on the playing field. Core strength is derived from the function of 4 myofascial slings of the body (Santana, 2003; S., 2011; P., 2013; American Council on Exercise, 2015; Lippert Lynn S. PT, 2017). These myofascial slings work together in the kinetic linkage of the body to transfer power between the upper and lower body parts. This transference of energy is what enables the body to regulate posture and balance while sitting and during gait. The plank exercise is a great exercise for activating and strengthening the musculature of the core including the rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, and the transverse abdominis.  How the exercise works The plank works based on simple physics and exercise physiology. To perform the exercise, one simply ...
